KWeather has plans to extract out its weather backend into an API, possibly it could be useful? https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/kweather/-/issues/25

https://invent.kde.org/libraries/kweathercore/ is a thing now

KWeatherCore is a weather library that uses:

• Norwegian Meteorological Institute for WeatherForecast and Sunrise data
• Geonames.org Location for name search

It uses a user wide cache to allow efficient cross applications' usage.

do we need regular kweathercore releases in worksoace? (or even.. framework?)

Having it in frameworks would be the natural place long-term, however given that this implies strict API/ABI stability I would be hesitant to do that soon

but releasing it with workspace for a while i think it kinda makes sense

I should note, I am going to move the engine out of plasma since kweathercore will not offer the same details. Once Plasma 6 is defined I'll be turning it into its own standalone app/plasmoid.
